Where to stay in St. Charles

"The first St. Charles Borromeo Church, like this one, was constructed of vertical, hewn logs placed directly in the ground: an architectural style unique to the French in the New World during the 17th and 18th centuries. The church has been rebuilt on its original location. Jesse Francis, a local preservationist with 20 years experience restoring 18th French log buildings, directed the reconstruction. The work was done completely by with period tools in the manner of the 18th century. The church is part of an on-going historical interpretive program based on a re-creation of daily activities in this old French village."

Hotel located in Saint Charles is the worst place I’ve ever been. If I would’ve had a can of bug spray I would have been better off a Motel 6. Again the phone number is 281-716-7350

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

I had no idea that the St. Charles area was as large as it is, and there is a lot to do and see there. It's a unique, historic town with lots of beauty spots and parks/trails. After coronavirus has fully ended, I will be back to explore again.

5/5 - Excellent

Was just stopping for a night on a long road trip, did not expect such a nice place. Could have probably stayed there for a couple of nights if I could.

5/5 - Excellent

Found out that my Great Grandparents lived in St Charles, so the GM of the hotel guided us to main street near the river. What a quaint area and throws you back in history!
